①. Cutting: Using standard woodworking equipment. For power miter saws, carbide tooth blades are recommended. Do not use fine-tooth metal-cutting blades, do not use plywood or metal blades because the kerf of the blade is too thin and can cause heat buildup in the material. To maintain a smooth edge, support the trim across its entire length when you cut it.
②. Drilling: Do not use bits made for rigid pvc, avoid heat buildup from excessive friction, and remove the shavings from the drill hole frequently.
③. Gluing: Temperature variation will cause pvc trim board and mouldings to expand and contract. To prevent open miter joints, we highly recommend gluing all joints using a quality instant glue or pvc cement, always test adhesive brands before using. You should use a combination of glue and mechanical fasteners, such as “ glue and screw”, only glue is not enough to ensure a long-term bond.
